Creative Coding 4 Kids (ages 8+)

from £225Per Child

Description

Creative Coding 4 Kids is a 2-day computer coding workshop for children aged 8+ during which they will explore computer programming through art, in-game music, and mathematics.

Kids aged 8+ of all abilities are welcome, from beginners (who have never written a line of code) all the way through to kids who have a few years of coding experience.

This is an all-inclusive workshop, with Spark4Kids providing everything from the software and hardware that the children will use, to lunch and healthy snacks – just drop your child off in the morning, and pick them up at the end of the fun-filled, workshop day.

Activities

This practical, hands-on coding workshop will offer a number of coding topics, including:

Generate art using basic Mathematics

Create interactive greetings

Build level-based games

Experiment with sounds and musical notes

Design comic characters and animate them

At the end of the workshop, the children will be able to show off their coded games and play them with friends and family. All attendees will also be provided with an on-line account and personal coding environment, where they will be able to continue computer coding in their own time, and at their own pace, after the workshop has ended.

The workshop is designed to keep the kids engaged throughout the day. There will be sufficient breaks to ensure that the children spend some time away from the computer and weather permitting, there will also be breaks outdoors.

The focus is on creating a fun and supportive environment in which children learn about various aspects of technology and coding.
